간섭 채널에 대한 연구는 정보 이론적으로 매우 중요한 문제로써 이에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 가장 간단한 경우인 두 사용자 간섭 채널에서조차 특별한 경우를 제외하고는 채널 용량이 아직까지 밝혀져 있지 않다. 따라서 최근에는 채널 용량을 정확히 알아보는 대신, 높은 신호 대 잡음 비(SNR: Signal to noise power ratio) 대역에서의 전송률의 경향을 보는 다중화 이득에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최적의 다중화 이득을 얻으면 높은 신호 대 잡음 비 대역에서 채널 용량의 경향을 알 수 있다. 두 명의 사용자가 존재하는 간섭 채널에서는 간섭을 제거하면 최적의 다중화 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 하지만 사용자 수가 셋 이상인 경우에는 간섭 제거(Zero Forcing)만으로 최적의 다중화 이득을 얻을 수 없고, 간섭 정렬이라는 새로운 기법이 필요하다는 것이 최근 연구에서 밝혀졌다. 간섭정렬 기법은 크게 두 종류로 나눌 수 있다. 송수신 빔 형성(Beamforming) 행렬을 적절하게 골라서 신호와 간섭을 효과적으로 분리하는 방법과 유리수와 무리수의 성질을 이용하여 구조화된 코드(Structured code)를 구성하는 방법이다. 간섭 정렬 기법은 간섭 채널, X 채널, 복합 방송 채널(Compound broadcast channel), 다중 송수신처(Multi source multi destination)를 위한 다중 홉(Multi hop) 네트워크 등의 다양한 환경에서 최적의 다중화 이득을 달성할 수 있으며, 최근에는 데이터 분산 저장(distributed storage)에도 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 지연된 채널 정보의 DoF를 구했다. The study on interference channel is very important information theoretically and many studies have been done on it. However, even in the simplest case, even in the case of two user interfering channels, the channel capacity is not yet known except in special cases. Recently, research on the multiplexing gain that shows the tendency of the transmission rate in the high signal to noise ratio (SNR) band has been actively carried out, instead of accurately grasping the channel capacity. Obtaining optimal multiplexing gain can reveal trends in channel capacity at high signal-to-noise ratio bands. In an interfering channel with two users, the best multiplexing gain can be obtained by eliminating the interference. However, recent research shows that when the number of users is more than three, the optimal multiplexing gain can not be obtained only by zero forcing and a new technique called interference sorting is needed. There are two types of interference sorting techniques. Beamforming A method of effectively separating signals and interference by properly selecting matrices and constructing structured codes using rational numbers and irrational numbers. The interference alignment technique can achieve optimal multiplexing gain in various environments such as interference channel, X channel, compound broadcast channel, and multi hop network for multi source multi destination. In recent years, it has also been applied to distributed storage.

Kyuhyuk Chung 한국전기전자학회 2019 전기전자학회논문지 Vol.23 No.1

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been considered for the fifth generation (5G) mobile networks to provide high system capacity and low latency. We calculate the channel capacity for the weak channel user in NOMA and the channel capacity region for NOMA. In this paper, Gaussian mixture channel is compared to the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. Gaussian mixture channel is modeled when we assume the practical signal modulation for the inter user interference, such as the binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation. It is shown that the channel capacity with BPSK inter user interference is better than that with Gaussian inter user interference. We also show that the channel capacity region with BPSK inter user interference is larger than that with Gaussian inter user interference. As a result, NOMA could perform better in the practical environments.

Total performance is improved by minimizing the channel interference between links in wireless mesh networks (WMNs). The paper refines on the CB-CA [1] to be suitable for multi-radio multi-channel (MRMC) WMNs. The CB-CA is the cluster-based channel assignment algorithm for one radio three channel WMN based on IEEE 802.11b/g. The CB-CA does not perform the channel scanning and the channel switching between the cluster heads (CHs) and the edge gateway nodes (EGs). However, the use of co-channel for links between CHs and EGs brings the problem of channel interference among many nodes. We propose and evaluate an improved CB-CA algorithm to solve this problem in MRMC WMNs. The proposed algorithm discriminates between transmission channel and receive channel and assigns channels to each interface randomly and advertises this information to neighbor clusters in order to be assigned no-interference channel between clusters. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can minimize the interference between clusters and also improve QoS, since it can use multiple interfaces and multiple channels.

류민우(Min-Woo Ryu),차시호(Si-Ho Cha),조국현(Kuk-Hyun Cho) 한국통신학회 2009 韓國通信學會論文誌 Vol.37 No.8

무선 메쉬 네트워크(Wireless Mesh Network, WMN)는 다중 인터페이스와 다중 채널을 지원함으로써 기존의 무선 네트워크에서 발생되는 여러 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 핵심적인 미래기술로 대두되고 있다. WMN에서 다중채널의 사용은 무선 네트워크 노드들이 사용하는 대역폭을 본질적으로 증가시켜준다. 그러나 이러한 대역폭을 충분히 사용하기 위해서는 다중 채널 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 채널 간 간섭을 최소화하는 채널 할당 기법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 WMN의 성능 향상을 위하여 클러스터링 기반의 최소 간섭 채널 할당(Minimum Interference Channel Assignment, MI-CA) 알고리즘을 제안한다. MI-CA 알고리즘은 클러스터 간의 Inter-Cluster 채널 할당과 클러스터 내부의 Intra-Cluster 채널 할당으로 구성된다. Inter-Cluster 채널 할당에서는 전체 WMN을 위한 베어본 채널을 MST(Minimum Spanning Tree) 기반으로 클러스터 헤더와 보더 노드에 할당하고, Intra-Cluster 채널 할당에서는 클러스터 멤버들 간에 직교채널을 재 할당함으로써 간섭을 최소화 한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 본 논문에서 제안한 MI-CA 알고리즘이 채널 간섭을 최소화함으로써 WMNs의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 입증하였다. Wireless mesh network (WMN) is emerging a future core technology to resolve many problems derived from exist wireless networks by employing multi-interface and multi-channel. Ability to utilize multiple channels in WMNs substantially increases the effective bandwidth available to wireless network nodes. However, minimum interference channel assignment algorithms are required to use the effective bandwidth in multi-channel environments. This paper proposes a cluster-based minimum interference channel assignment (MI-CA) algorithm to improve the performance of WMN. The MI-CA algorithm is consists of Inter-Cluster and Intra-Cluster Intrchannel assignment between clusters and in the internal clusters, respectively. The Inter-Cluster channel assignment assigns a barebone channel to cluster heads and border nodes based on minimum spanning tree (MST) and the Intra-Cluster channel assignment minimizes channel interference by reassigning ortasgonal channels between cluster mespann. Our simheation results show that MI-CA can improve the performance of WMNs by minimizing channel interference.

Channel Allocation Strategies for Interference-Free Multicast in Multi-Channel Multi-Radio Wireless Mesh Networks

( Wen-lin Yang ),( Wan-ting Hong ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2012 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.6 No.2

Given a video stream delivering system deployed on a multicast tree, which is embedded in a multi-channel multi-radio wireless mesh network, our problem is concerned about how to allocate interference-free channels to tree links and maximize the number of serviced mesh clients at the same time. In this paper, we propose a channel allocation heuristic algorithm based on best-first search and backtracking techniques. The experimental results show that our BFB based CA algorithm outperforms previous methods such as DFS and BFS based CA methods. This superiority is due to the backtracking technique used in BFB approach. It allows previous channel-allocated links to have feasibility to select the other eligible channels when no conflict-free channel can be found for the current link during the CA process. In addition to that, we also propose a tree refinement method to enhance the quality of channel-allocated trees by adding uncovered destinations at the cost of deletion of some covered destinations. Our aim of this refinement is to increase the number of serviced mesh clients. According to our simulation results, it is proved to be an effective method for improving multicast trees produced by BFB, BFS and DFS CA algorithms.

최근 유선 네트워크의 설치가 어려운 먼 거리의 인터넷 접속을 낮은 비용으로 가능하게 해주는 기술인 무선 메쉬 네트워크에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 무선 메쉬 네트워크의 각 노드는 데이터를 송수신하는 호스트의 역할 뿐만 아니라 데이터를 전달하는 라우터의 역할도 수행한다. 이 때 메쉬 라우터는 기존 유선 망 또는 다른 무선 통신망으로의 연결을 제공하는 게이트웨이의 역할을 함으로써 무선 네트워크에서의 백본으로 동작할 수도 있다. 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서 멀티 채널 멀티 인터페이스를 사용하는 것은, 서로 간섭하지 않는 채널을 사용하여 동시에 통신이 가능함으로써 전체 네트워크의 데이터 처리량을 높이게 된다. 이러한 멀티 채널 멀티 인터페이스 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서 각 인터페이스에 채널들을 할당하고 라우팅을 결정하는 것은 중요한 연구 과제이다. 따라서 멀티 채널 멀티 인터페이스를 지원하는 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서의 채널 할당 및 라우팅의 목적은 네트워크의 연결성을 유지하면서 간섭을 최소화하며 네트워크의 데이터 처리량을 향상시키는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 멀티 채널 멀티 인터페이스 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서 네트워크의 전체 데이터 처리량을 높이며, 평균 종단간 지연시간을 줄이는 중앙 집중적이며 휴리스틱한 방법의 채널 할당 및 라우팅 알고리즘들을 제안한다. 이를 위해 링크의 잔여 채널 용량을 고려한 라우팅 방법과 링크의 통신 참여 수를 고려한 채널 할당 및 라우팅 방법, 그리고 우회 경로를 허용하는 라우팅 방법을 제안한다. 마지막으로 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 NS-2 시뮬레이터를 사용하여 기존 관련 연구와 비교 분석하였다. 제안한 방법은 기존 관련 연구에서의 방법보다 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서의 평균 데이터 처리량을 증가시키며 평균 종단간 지연시간을 감소시키는 결과를 보임으로써 전체 네트워크의 성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. Wireless mesh networks can be deployed for various networks from home networking to last-mile broadband Internet access. Wireless mesh networks are composed of mesh routers and mesh clients. In these networks, static nodes form a multi-hop backbone of a large wireless access network that provides connectivity to end-users' mobile terminals. The network nodes cooperate with each other to relay data traffic to its destinations. In order to increase connectivity and better performance, researchers are getting interested in multi-channel and multi-interface wireless mesh networks. In these networks, non-overlapping multiple frequency channels are used simultaneously to increase the aggregate bandwidth available to end-users. Recently, researches have focused on finding suitable channel assignments for wireless network interfaces, equiped in a mesh node, together with efficient routing to improve overall systemthroughput in wireless mesh networks. This goal can be achieved by minimize channel interference. Less interference among using channels in a network guarantees more aggregated channel capacity and better connectivity of the networks. In this thesis, we propose interference aware channel assignment and routing algorithms for multi-channel multi-hop wireless mesh networks. We propose Channel Assignment and Routing algorithms using Traffic Profiles(CARTP) and Routing algorithms allowing detour routing(CARTP+2). Finally, we evaluate the performance of proposed algorithms in comparison to results from previous methods using ns-2 simulations. The simulation results show that our proposed algorithms can enhance the overall network performance in wireless mesh networks.

무선 네트워크가 OFDMA 시스템으로 발전되어감에 따라 무선 자원 관리에서 셀 간 간섭 제어가 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 인접 셀에서 같은 채널을 할당하는 것은 셀 간 간섭을 야기하므로, 채널 할당은 셀 간 간섭을 낮추도록 이루어져야 한다. 분산 방식의 채널 할당에서는 독립적으로 채널을 할당하면서, 각 셀이 낮은 간섭 수준을 겪도록 해야 한다. 이 논문에서는 간섭 영역의 개념을 소개하고 이를 이용한 두 가지 알고리즘을 제안한다. 두 가지 알고리즘은 이동성이 낮은 사용자를 가정한다. 기본 알고리즘은 할당하고자하는 채널에서 간섭 영역 탐지를 하여 할당을 결정하지만, 조합 알고리즘은 이에 더해 채널 상태도 확인하여 할당을 결정한다. 이들은 낮은 복잡도에 비해 좋은 수율과 공평성 성능을 보인다. As wireless networks evolve to orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA) systems, inter-cell interference control becomes a critical issue in radio resource management. The allocation of the same channels in neighbor cells cause inter-cell interference, so the channel allocation needs to be taken carefully to lower the inter-cell interference. In distributed channel allocation, each cell independently tries to allocate channels that suffer low interference level. In this paper, under the assumption of static users, we introduce the concept of interference range and use it in designing our two algorithms; basic and combined. The basic algorithm performs interference range detection and determines whether to use the considered channel, while the combined algorithm checks the channel quality in addition to detecting the interference range. The two algorithms dynamically perform channel allocation with low complexity and show good throughput and fairness performance.

SLNR-based Precoder Design in Multiuser Interference Channel with Channel Estimation Error

( Bangwon Seo ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2020 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.14 No.1

In this paper, we consider a precoder design problem for multiuser interference channel. Most of the conventional schemes for precoder design utilize a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) as a cost function. However, since the SINR metric of a desired transmitter-receiver pair is a function of precoding vectors of all transmitters in the multiuser interference channel, an analytic closed-form solution is not available for the precoding vector of a desired transmitter that maximizes the SINR metric. To eliminate coupling between the precoding vectors of all transmitters and to find a closed-form solution for the precoding vector of the desired transmitter, we use a signal-to-leakage-plus-noise ratio (SLNR) instead as a cost function because the SLNR at a transmitter is a function of the precoding vector of the desired transmitter only. In addition, channel estimation errors for undesired links are considered when designing the precoding vector because they are inevitable in a multiuser interference channel. In this case, we propose a design scheme for the precoding vector that is robust to the channel estimation error. In the proposed scheme, the precoding vector is designed to maximize the worst-case SLNR. Through computer simulation, we show that the proposed scheme has better performance than the conventional scheme in terms of SLNR, SINR, and sum rate of all users.
